The seafood buffet went on forever, and we used to love the warm welcome the owner used to extend to us while he described all the various types of seafood he had on the buffet. It was always a marvellous place to vusut

I was in Vancouver and my hotel recommended this restaurant and it was well worth the trip. I have always thought of coming back but I found out it had closed. I tell my wife and friends about the restaurant but I could not show them what I have seen. Only people who have been there will understand why I love this restaurant so much besides the fact that I love seafood.

My family and I love seafood since we all grow-up in Mexico City and we are use to eat everything that comes from the ocean. It’s a pity to see gone this memorable place! Such happy reminiscences!

I loved this place so much I decided to create my special place on the net for it to live while I can.

The experience continued for many years later. I was fishing off the west coast of Vancouver Island for a few years and when the season was over we would head back to the pond at the end of number 2 Road in Richmond where it would stay over winter. That is when I would eat almost twice or more every month through the winter.
I would brag about how good it was to eat there. Many a guest I would bring for dinner through the years. I will never forget!

They provided lunch for $1.00 a day. Great value and even better lunch. Mostly i remember a morning after a storm had rolled thru, i had to go to Cates Towing and borrow the row boat they had and go out and tow back in all the boats that had broken free from the docks around. The family treated me very good and after i had left they even remembered me when i took my girl out for a special dinner there. The treated me so well that she thought i must be royalty. Very important memories for me in my early twenty’s.

It was the first time I ate oysters and the only time I ate frog legs. A wonderful memory of family and of course the amazing seafood buffet!

Pamela Anderson in 1987 pre Baywatch days took me there for dinner on our first date. It was a memorable evening.

Blue Nun, or black tower, that’s what we drank in the 70s, too sweet for me now, so loved the seven seas!

Once with my parents, and a second time with my grandparents when they visited from Indiana. It was great, as I remember, but I didn’t have much of a discerning palate at 11 years old. It was interesting because the owner (Harry) would come out and speak with every table and reel off all the 101 types of seafood on the menu that day. He looked like Colonel Sanders of the sea. I was friends with his grandchildren, and we attended the same elementary school. I was so sad to leave North Vancouver, such a beautiful city.

In 1991, I had the pleasure of celebrating my 40th birthday on The Seven Seas with many friends while on a conference in Vancouver. I can’t tell you how impressed we all were with the entire experience.

The memory was so strong that I decided to take my future wife there on a date. The catch is, we were on a getaway from our home in Edmonton, and staying at the Oak Bay Beach Hotel in Victoria!

So, on a very rainy afternoon, we drove to Swartz Bay and took the ferry to the mainland, drove to Canada Place, parked the rental car, rode the Sea Bus across to North Van, and made the short walk to the Seven Seas in pouring rain. I was so excited to get back there. As you can see, it was quite a journey.

Then the shock!

It turns out that the restaurant was no longer operating. This was in 1995.
And yes, I should have called ahead… live and learn.

So, what to do? Believe it or not, we backtracked the entire trip and ended up having a very late dinner at the Oak Bay Marina, looking and feeling like a couple of drowned rats.

Hard to believe, but true.

The wine outstanding. We had a bottle of white wine. The label had a rearing black horse on the side of the of it. The wine was outstanding. I have been trying to find that same wine for years. It was a German white wine. ‘Help’.

I remember going there with my Brownie pack to have tea. It was such a cool little ship.
